This Russian landmark is Saint Basil's Cathedral. It was built in 1555. Pretty long ago, huh? It's an example of medieval architecture in Russia!

Russia's history has a LONG past, and I mean long. It can go back 1,000 years, 2,000 years, and even more! Unbelievable, right? But true! Russia's history is pretty much the same thing. They have a very long past, filled with wars, czars, new princes, etc.! You may be asking yourself, "Why on earth would we want to learn about Russia's boring history?" Well, for one, it's DEFINITELY not boring! It's full of excitement and adventure, and by learning new things, you can get a new and different perspective of things! :)
